| Saucy Seaside Postcards | |
Website |
|
Details |
In the early 1930s, cartoon-style saucy
postcards became widespread, and at the peak of their popularity the
sale of saucy postcards reached a massive 16 million a year. They
were often bawdy in nature, making use of innuendo and double
entendres and traditionally featured stereotypical characters such
as vicars, large ladies and put-upon husbands, in the same vein as
the Carry On films. In the early 1950s, the newly elected Conservative government were concerned at the apparent deterioration of morals in Britain and decided on a crackdown on these postcards. The main target on their hit list was the renowned postcard artist Donald McGill. In the more liberal 1960s, the saucy postcard was revived and became to be considered, by some, as an art form. This helped its popularity and once again they became an institution. However, during the 1970s and 1980s, the quality of the artwork and humour started to deteriorate and, with changing attitudes towards the cards' content, the demise of the saucy postcard occurred. |

| Donald McGill Museum - the king of cartoon style saucy postcards | |

Donald McGill Museum |
Details |
Our museum pays homage to Donald McGill, who
spent his life creating comic artworks for the then thriving postcard
industry We are located at 15 Union Street, Ryde Isle of Wight PO33 2DU. In the early 1930's cartoon style saucy postcards became widespread and at the peak of their popularity the sale of saucy postcards reached a massive 16 million a year. They were often tacky in nature making use of innuendo and traditionally featured stereotypical characters such as priests, large ladies and put-upon husbands in the same vein as the Carry On films. In the early 1950's, the newly elected Conservative government were concerned at the apparent deterioration of morals in Britain and decided on a crackdown on these postcards. The main target on their hit list was the renowned postcard artist Donald McGill. In the more liberal 1960's the saucy postcard was revived and became to be considered, by some, as an art form. The demise of the saucy postcard occurred during the 1970's and 1980's, the quality of the artwork and humour started to deteriorate with changing attitudes towards the cards content. Despite the decline in popularity of postcards that are overtly saucy, postcards continue to be a significant economic and cultural aspect of British seaside tourism. Sold by newsagents and street vendors as well as by specialist souvenir shops. Modern seaside postcards often feature multiple depiction's of the resort in unusually favourable weather conditions. These continuously draw tourist to the seaside. The use of saturated colour and a general departure from realism have made the postcards of the later twentieth century become collected and desired by undiscriminating taste. Original postcards are now highly sought after and rare examples can command very high prices at auction. Donald created over 12,000 postcards from 1904 till his death in 1962.
